Welcome...

Here on my blog, I bring together my work as a Registered Nutritionist, keen writer and communicator, my never-ending passion for natural health and nutrition, as well as my learnings from my studies in Ayurveda. Also into the mix, I add useful reading and resources for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, and of course details about the services I can offer... More about me.

Be inspired by two healthy diets...

I was particularly inspired by2 of my clients this week, Paddy and Malcolm. Both juggle full-time jobs, family, AND commit to daily training too - one is a competitive cyclist and the other has a goal of wanting to gain muscle size, by natural means - i.e. excellent nutrition and a well-structured training plan (which is overseen and led via his personal trainer, James).

I have been coaching and supporting both these individuals, with regards to optimising their nutrition, over the past few months. They have made several highly effective, and practical changes to their diets, both in terms of types/quality of foods, as well as timing of meals, quantity and balance of their diets. Both have made giant leaps forward in their eating habits, & in their knowledge & understanding of food and nutrition. I want to share with you some examples (meals, timings and recipes) and practical strategies they've used which they've found particularly helpful and effective. Both men have been totally committed (a crucial foundation to success) to ensuring that their nutrition is a main priority in life (even with family & work committments), simply so they can a) stay in excellent health, b) have the energy to train daily, whilst still fullfill (and enjoy) other life and work committments. Most importantly, they enjoy their food, and of course their family and leisure time!

Malcolm soaks a portion of this in oat milk overnight, so it's ready to eat first thing the next morning before his training session. Soaking means its super-easy to digest, and all he adds is some fresh fruit (usually 1/2 a banana and some berries).

He also whizzes up more banana, shelled hempseeds, some berries, & oat milk in a blender and takes this for his recovery workout shake! This is full of protein, excellent carbs, essential fats and antioxidants.
